Alison had a big team day, watching some men's ice hockey. Both Jill and Alison caught the NOR vs JAP men's curling match, which of course, meant the first look at the Norwegian team's famous page (check the FB page here).

Jill watched Team Olympic Fever member Bryan Fletcher compete in Nordic Combined. She also pondered the existence of doubles luge. The Dutch won in speedskating again (which we think is a good thing), and Jill's found another officiating job she'd like. Alison has the answer to one of our burning questions from yesterday.

Little known fact: While we tape these shows, we have the TV on mute, so our commentary on the North Korean figure skating pair sneaks in, as does Alison's three favorite words: The Attacking Viking. Note: We didn't finish out the pairs competition together, so we'll talk about it more in tomorrow's episode.

We're also running a fundraising campaign for the duration of the Games. This money will go toward:

podcast and web hosting

a more robust website

equipment and education so we sound better

producing new episodes for the coming year

We have a donation button on our site, or click here. If you can't donate financially, we'd appreciate you sharing our podcast with others so we can continue to build our audience and be more attractive to other funding sources.

Events keep changing the situation for the Olympics: Today, the Court of Arbitration of Sport handed down decisions in 39 of the 42 appeals by Russians regarding the IOC's decision to have their Sochi awards revoked and ban them for life.

Twenty-eight of those appeals were upheld--including those for eight cross-country skiers--meaning that the IOC's evidence was insufficient, the sanctions are revoked, and they'll have their Sochi results reinstated.

For another 11 cases, the lifetime ban has been downgraded to just a ban for the PyeongChang games. This includes three cross-country skiers.

There are three appeals still outstanding for three biathletes. They'll be heard after the PyeongChang Olympics.

We'll keep updating the story as we hear more--no wonder the author of Jill's favorite book can't keep up and put out valid records!

This week we're on the long track with speedskating sprinter Erin Jackson. Erin's a world champion inline skater who recently transitioned to the ice and surprised everyone--even herself--by snagging a spot on the team in the 500m.

Not surprising is that a last-minute trip from the US to South Korea's pretty expensive, so Erin's been doing some fundraising to get her father and two cousins to the Games. Check out her website and Facebook page for more info. She's also on Twitter and Instagram.

Then we head back outside to the snow to preview the cross-country skiing competition. Jason Albert, the host of the "Nordic Nation" podcast on FasterSkier.com, tells us more about the sport and what to look for out on the course.

All this, plus trivia--and what our podcasting schedule will be like during the Games!

Next we have international Mind-Body Performance Coach Rebekah Dixon, who's working with Canadian pairs skater Meagan Duhamel on sharpening her mental game leading up to the Olympics. Check out Rebekah's website, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook page for more information (check out the FB page--she's got some great videos).

While Jill and Alison are ageless, these athletes are nowhere near "old" to us. Today we've got some "older" Olympians. First up is Devin Logan, silver medalist in slopestyle at Sochi 2014. After that, we talk to Sochi Olympic moguls skiier Bradley Wilson. We've got some trivia too, which leads into some fascinating moguls stories from Olympics past.13fullJill Jaracz & Alison BrownEpisode 12: BANNED!BANNED!Fri, 08 Dec 2017 05:09:01 +0000Big news from the International Olympic Committee this week: The IOC has banned Russia from competing at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games--and a host of other sanctions--as a result of systemic doping.

Yet, it's the most recent Winter Olympic Games. Before we go full-on feverish for PyeongChang 2018, we're going to take a look back at some of the stories from the Sochi Olympics.

First up is Nate Bartholomay, U.S. pairs skater, to give us an athlete's perspective of what Sochi was like, competition-wise. Then we talk to his sibling Jamie, who got to go to Sochi to cheer Nate on in person. Hear their story of the family/fan perspective--and find out what it's like to be the type of person who's not even supposed to exist in Russia.

Next we talk to our friend and Olympin president Don Bigsby, who got to see a part of Russia that most visitors don't. Luckily, he got back to tell the story.

Finally, remember how in Sochi the big story was that the athletes' rooms and hotels were kind of shoddy -- so much so that a bobsledder had to break through his bathroom door in order to get out? We've got the full deets, thanks to Nick Cunningham, who very well might've been the reason it happened in the first place.

All this, plus trivia!
